  • OBFUSCATION FOR PROTECTION OF STREAMING MEDIA AND OTHER DATA FLOWS
    Publication number: 20240045670
    Abstract: A method is provided for obfuscating program code to prevent unauthorized users from accessing video. The method includes receiving an original program code that provides functionality. The original program code is transformed into obfuscated program code defining a randomized branch encoded version of the original program code. The obfuscated program code is then stored, and a processor receiving input video data flow uses the obfuscated program code to generate an output data flow.

  • ACTIVE CONDENSATION MITIGATION INSIDE ELECTRONIC ENCLOSURE
    Publication number: 20240042953
    Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for a system and method to help prevent condensation inside an enclosure that includes an electronic system. The system and method can determine a current relative humidity of an environment inside an enclosure that houses the electronic system, use the current relative humidity and the current maximum temperature to determine a dew point for the environment inside the enclosure, activate one or more heating elements inside the enclosure when the current minimum temperature is the same or lower than the dew point for the environment inside the enclosure, activate one or more embedded fans, and open one or more vents to help purge moisture out of the system during heating. When the current minimum temperature is higher than the dew point for the environment inside the enclosure, the system and method can allow the electronic system to power on.

  • BIODEGRADABLE, INDUSTRIALLY COMPOSTABLE, AND RECYCLABLE INJECTION MOLDED MICROCELLULAR FLEXIBLE FOAMS
    Publication number: 20240042660
    Abstract: This document discloses a process for manufacturing recyclable injection molded microcellular foams for use in, footwear components, seating components, protective gear components, and watersport accessories, The process includes the steps of providing a thermoplastic polymer which comprises at least one monomer derived from depolymerized postconsumer plastic, inserting a fluid into a barrel of a molding apparatus. The fluid is introduced under temperature and pressure conditions to produce a super critical fluid. The process further includes mixing the thermoplastic polymer and super critical fluid so as to create a single phase solution, and injecting the single phase solution into a mold of an injection molding machine under gas counter pressure. The process further includes foaming the single phase solution by controlling the head and temperature conditions within the mold.
